Although only a single building, the school comprised separate infants, boys and girls departments which seem to have been referred to as schools in the plural. A roll of honour, also now lost, was unveiled at the same ceremony. It is arguable whether the rooms and the roll constitute a single memorial but in this inventory they are treated as separate memorials, mainly because they have different histories.
